I came up with the idea for this when I was talking to my sister one day. We were wondering what Aizen and Co. Could be doing inside that barrier thing all this time and this was one of our theories. Oh, and I wrote this before chapter 364 was out, just to clarify things. Enjoy ;)

Do I have to take it off?

Gin frowned. This was no fun. How long had they been inside this fire barrier the old man had made? He sighed and looked over to Tousen, who was humming tunefully.

“I’m boooooored…” whined Gin, “when do we get to fight?”

Tousen shrugged. “When old man Yamamoto lifts this barrier I guess.”

“Which will be a while,” commented Aizen, “most of them are fighting and it’s not time to leave yet…”

Gin frowned again. It looked strange and unnatural on him. Then, with growing joy, he realised something. He excitedly reached into his robes and pulled out his poker cards.

“Who wants to play then?” he asked.

After deciding that there was nothing better to do, the three sat in a circle (or triangle) and set up Gin’s poker set. It was here that they discovered a major flaw.

“Whoops!” Gin said with his smile, “I ‘forgot’ to pack the poker chips!”

Aizen glared, “You idiot! How are we meant to play now?”

“There are ways of playing without the chips,” spoke Tousen wisely, “all you need to do is substitute them with something.”

“Yeah, but what?” asked Aizen.

Gin grinned even wider than usual. “Tousen knows what I’m talking about. Don’t you, Tousen?”

Tousen nodded, “I’ll start.”

He removed his visor and placed it into the middle of the circle. Gin then took off his shoes and placed them in.

“Well Aizen,” said Gin, “what are you going to put in?”

Seeing no harm, Aizen simply removed his shawl. Then they played with their cards for a bit before Gin smiled and said, “Now, I’ll be taking your shawl and visor.”

Aizen smiled. He knew what was going on now, and if that squinting idiot could do it, then he could as well. He had heard about this game before. In fact, some of his division in Soul Society had offered he play it with them, but he had politely declined. They only wanted his cool brown glasses.

This time however, was different. They had plenty of time to kill and he no longer had those glasses. He grinned a very Gin-like grin as he undid his coat. This could be fun…

1 HOUR LATER

Aizen sat half-naked and surveyed his two opponents. Gin had by far the most infuriating poker face. To any other person, smiling like that would indicate they were winning. But when that person smiled all day, every day, it was really hard to tell whether they were wining, losing, or bluffing.

Tousen however, was a different case although hard to read nonetheless. Aizen didn’t even know how the guy could see the cards! And with all the bits-and-pieces and accessories Tousen wore, he’d hardly even stripped any main garments. Aizen sighed. He was really bad at this game. And Gin had made a lame rule that if you had won any rounds, you were not allowed to wear your winnings, but rather appreciate the slow process of stripping. That bastard. As it was, Gin was sitting there in his underwear, with a large heap of clothing piled up next to him.

Tousen suddenly stripped off the top half of his clothing. He obviously had a good feeling about this round. Aizen tugged of his socks and tossed them into the middle. Gin began to tug at his boxers.

“Wait!” said Aizen, “Can’t you just use some of the clothing from your pile?”

“Aww, but then the game would be no fun,” objected Gin as he tugged down his boxers and chucked them in the middle, now completely naked.

“For once I’m glad I’m blind,” said Tousen.

Aizen sighed and looked down at his winnings. Gin’s belt and Tousen’s hair tie. Nothing that would help him much. Gin kept trying on Tousen’s visor glasses and placing them on his ever-growing pile.

Aizen looked down. All he had left were his pants and boxers. Soon he’d be just like Gin.

The round continued on, with Tousen the victor. He happily took his shirt, the socks and boxers and added them to his pile.

A few minutes later, Aizen was in nothing but his boxers. They began their final round of clothing. Tousen removed his pants, stripping down to his boxers. Gin simply added a random garment from his pile.

"Do I have to take it off?" Aizen whined.

Gin smiled, "it's the aim of the game."

Aizen gulped and removed his boxers to the laughing of Gin.

Suddenly, the sound of a rushing wind echoed throughout the barrier.

“What’s happening?” asked Aizen.

The various battles throughout Karakura town paused momentarily to observe as the fire-barrier began to flicker and rush away, to reveal none other than the three ex-Soul society captains in their various stages of nakedness, all looking shocked and embarrassed at the undignifying situation. Except Gin who just smiled and waved at Rangiku.

Yamamoto gasped. In all his years as Soutachiou of the elite thirteen court guard squads, never had he seen such a foul, apocalyptic scene.

Even the three’s minions seemed shocked. Immediately, Stark abandoned his battle with Shunsui and Ukitake to rush over to young captain Hitsugaya and cover his eyes.

“A child should not see such things,” he spoke sternly.

“I’m not a child, gettoff!” grumbled Hitsugaya, prying the much larger hand from his eyes. However, he instantly re-applied the hand at the sight of his ex-colleagues.

Soi-fon wished she had gorged her eyes out instead of cutting her arm off and hid behind her lieutenant to block out the crude sight.

Then one by one, some of Aizen’s mightiest Espada began to crumble at the sight of their exposed masters. Halibell melted into her icy-chamber. Barragen rotted and was swept away with the wind. Several others met similar fates, and all the Shinigami could do was stand, wait and endure.

It was Kumumorra who finally had the courage to step forward.

“Be gone, nude ones” he spoke in a dignifying demeanour.

And that was all that needed to be said. The three turned and vanished back to Hueco-Mundo, the clothing they left behind falling gracefully to the ground.

It was during this time that both Old-man Yamamoto and Aizen turned to their men and said, “we never speak of this again, you hear?”

Their subordinates had never been so happy to comply.
